Shiba Inu Supply Continues to Dwindle on Crypto Exchanges
The supply of SHIB is experiencing a slight decrease, though this doesn’t necessarily indicate an imminent price recovery.
- Positive Indicator. In the last week, approximately 459 billion SHIB tokens have exited exchanges, suggesting a significant movement away from exchange wallets.
Despite the price remaining relatively stable, Shiba Inu is witnessing a reduction in supply on exchanges. Netflow data reveals that around 459 billion SHIB have moved away from centralized exchanges over the past week, marking a change in token storage.
There have been multiple days of substantial withdrawals, with the netflow consistently in the negative. At one point in the week, over 280 billion SHIB transferred from exchanges in a single day, marking the largest daily outflow.
- Possible Outcomes. The tokens may be transitioning into longer-term holdings in areas like DeFi or staking options, or large holders could be shifting assets to private or cold storage.
Such behavior typically signals either an intention to hold tokens in longer-term arrangements or a shift by large holders into cold storage, suggesting that participants are not gearing up for a market sell-off.
Meanwhile, price trends appear weak. SHIB’s price has been declining daily, with key moving averages—the 50, 100, and 200-day—sloping downward, and the current price remains far below these averages.
Over the last two months, any price increases have quickly been met with selling pressure. Momentum indicators such as RSI remain low, indicating a lack of urgency and weak demand.
Analyst Predicts Bullish Future for XRP
A striking prediction from a highly intelligent analyst suggests that XRP might surpass both gold and silver by 2026.
- 2016 Rally. YoungHoon Kim forecasts that XRP will outperform both gold and silver within this time frame.
Silver has seen remarkable growth, climbing about 167.70% in the past year, while XRP has suffered a decline of 14.99% during the same period. The timing of this forecast is almost ironic, as charts suggest metals have dominated, yet one bold prediction claims XRP will outshine them in 2026.
The prediction from Kim, reputed to have the world’s highest IQ at 276, quickly gained traction for positioning XRP against assets traditionally seen as “safe money.”
- Promising Position. Currently, XRP’s market cap stands at $113,285,137,301, a stark contrast to gold’s $31.719 trillion and silver’s $4.485 trillion.
XRP’s price is around $1.87, reflecting a 1.44% rise in the past 24 hours. If this optimistic outlook holds, 2025 may set the stage for a key catalyst in 2026, which could significantly shift the narrative.
Bitcoin ETF ‘Sticky Capital’ Narrative Faces Challenges
Bitcoin ETFs have declined by nearly $6 billion from their peak.
- ETF Outflows. Since reaching their all-time high, Bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows totaling $5.55 billion, marking a record decrease.
Recent insights from CryptoQuant indicate that outflows from the all-time peak have hit a staggering $5.55 billion.
Proponents of Bitcoin ETFs often highlight that they represent “sticky capital,” implying that institutional investors are inclined to hold onto their assets. They argue that major players like BlackRock and Fidelity have long-term investment strategies, ensuring ETF flows are more stable than those of retail investors.
- Pessimistic Outlook. Should Bitcoin’s price continue to decline towards the ETF realization price, many institutional investors could find themselves in a tough position.
Nevertheless, this theory may soon be put to the test. Current market data reveals drawdowns significantly deeper than the major corrections seen in March 2025. If Bitcoin’s price continues to fall close to the ETF realization line, many institutional holders may find themselves underperforming.
